Jace Holloway was destined for greatness. A track prodigy from North London, he was on the path to becoming one of the UK’s top young sprinters—until a devastating knee injury shattered his dreams. Though he could still run, he would never reach the world-class speeds that once made him unstoppable. Lost and uncertain about his future, Jace drifts through his days at Harrow Sixth Form College, haunted by what could have been. When his best mate, Marcus, suggests he try football, Jace is sceptical. He has never played seriously, and the game requires more than just raw pace. But something about the sport intrigues him. At first, he only watches from the sidelines, attending the school team’s tryouts without committing. The game is different from the track—unpredictable, tactical, demanding. Yet, the more he observes, the more he wonders: Can speed still be his weapon? Can football give him a second shot at greatness? Jace faces a new challenge—learning the game from scratch, proving himself against skilled players, and overcoming his lingering doubts. But if he can harness his speed in a new way, he might just find a new dream waiting for him on the pitch.

London, 1820 A kingdom shrouded in darkness. A bloodline cursed by power. A legacy of silver and shadows. Centuries ago, a king's insatiable thirst for power turned him into a monster—a vampire. His dark transformation left a curse upon his descendants: the Silver Blood, a gift and a torment. Silver Blood turns any weapon they wield into a force capable of slaying vampires—and according to ancient legend, holds the power to restore vampires to humanity. But no one knows if this power is salvation… or damnation. Maverick Crus Beecham, or Marx, is no stranger to the shadows. As the most skilled of the kingdom’s Special Soldier Night Guards, Marx has dedicated his life to protecting the realm. Yet when his stern uncle, Lawrence Beecham, unexpectedly sends him away for three months to inherit his title as Earl, Marx’s world takes an unforeseen turn. Enter Cherie, a mysterious and charismatic nobleman who exudes charm as easily as breathing. Their fateful meeting throws Marx into a whirlwind of intrigue, danger, and unspoken secrets. Despite their clashing personalities—Marx’s stoic discipline against Cherie’s playful magnetism—they are drawn together by a shared purpose, an enigmatic mission, and Cherie’s declaration of a "date" that feels more like destiny. “We should go through all of the ups and down, for better, for worse, until we are part by death” A tale of cursed bloodlines, enduring secrets, and unexpected romance, Sovereign of Silver Blood is a gothic adventure romance.
